THAI COCONUT, COURGETTE AND CHICKEN SOUP
The Food Gatherer's Note: A gorgeous summery aromatic Thai style soup using seasonal courgettes along with free range chicken. I use thigh (ask for the joints to be de-boned when you check out in the notes section) but you may prefer chicken breast - it's all a matter of preference! You can also add noodles in the last few minutes of cooking time to make the soup more substantial and if you want to make things easy for yourself midweek then cook off the chicken in a thai curry paste instead of creating your own as in the recipe before adding the rest of the soup, juts add some slices of ginger along with the lemongrass and fish out later.
